Let’s Do The Math 1

How many buyers transactions do you expect to close this year __________________

2

How many would you refer to me? ______________ X 5:1 Ratio ________________Extra closings together. ________________Extra commission to you.

3

Plus, Referrals from my current database

My GOAL Year 1 Year 2

5

The Future Potential is HUGE….

A NEW WAVE IN SERVICE.

I’ve seen “Raving Fans” give 3 referrals over a 12-18 month period and then 2 more over 2 years…so that could be 5 closings over 2 years! This is only if they are “Raving Fans,” but this will take time.

We need to make “Raving Fans” together and it’s challenging.

I do ask two things: 1) That when we do business we are exclusive together. Meaning, you sell me only and I sell you only. Please don’t give out 3 loan officer cards and I won’t give my referrals 3 Realtor cards. If I’m your #1 lender, great. If I’m your #2 lender, that’s ok, just when you use me, use me only. Not one of three. Fair?

2) We set a time to meet and discuss your listings and brainstorm together how my mortgage products can help expand the number of people eligible to buy your listings. I think over the next 3 months, we should meet face to face once a month to discuss. Then adjust it after this time.

Does this sound fair to you? Would you like to partner together? Would I be your #1 or #2 lender?

Great, so would I…Let’s set the next face to face meeting—what day is good next month?

Time / Place / Date: Now let’s discuss pre-quals: A) How and when do I refer you?

1) What stage do you want them sent to you?

2) Do you want me to email you and have them call you?

3) What areas do you want to cover?

B) How and when do you refer me?

The next step is….

A NEW WAVE IN SERVICE.

CORE PURPOSE

To improve the lives of families.

1. Integrity, utter sincerity, honest and candor.

CORE VALUES

2. Treat everyone as an equal.

3. Always educate everyone on options today and in the future.

4. Create Raving Fans Amazing Customer Service, which is always one step ahead of the industry. Service which leaves the customer pleasantly surprised and passionate about our services thus creating a “raving fan.”
